Tree identification book available

"What Tree Is That?," a pocket guide for identifying trees, is available from The National Arbor Day Foundation.

Dozens of drawings illustrate the specific shapes and textures of different leaves, needles, acorns, berries, seed pods, cones and other identifying features.
